차세대 무선 통신기술로 알려져 있는 Optical Camera Communication(OCC)은 많은 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 이러한 OCC 기술은 통신 환경에 의해 성능이 좌우되며 이를 개선하기 위해 다양한 전략이 연구되고 있다. 그중 가장 두각을 나타내고 있는 방법은 딥러닝 기술을 사용하여 OCC의 수신기에 CNN을 적용하는 방법이다. 하지만 대부분의 연구에서는 CNN을 단순히 송신기를 검출하는데 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CNN을 송신기 검출 뿐만 아니라 Rx 복조 시스템에 적용하여 실험한다. 그리고 OCC 시스템의 데이터 이미지는 다른 이미지 데이터셋과는 다르게 비교적 분류가 간단하기 때문에 대부분의 CNN 모델에서 높은 정확도의 결과가 나타날 것이라는 가설을 세웠다. 가설을 증명하기 위해 OCC 시스템을 설계 및 구현하여 데이터를 수집하였고 12가지의 다양한 CNN 모델에 적용하여 실험했다. 실험 결과 파라미터수가 많은 고성능의 CNN 모델 뿐만 아니라 경량화 CNN 모델에서도 99% 이상의 정확도를 달성하였고 이를 통해 스마트폰과 같은 저성능 계산 장치에 OCC 시스템 적용이 가능함을 확인했다.

Compare with other communication system based RF technology, Optical Camera Communication (OCC) has limitation on data rate due to the low frame rate of camera. The limitation on data rate can be solved with multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology; and it is the final target of all researches on OCC. The MIMO topology can be implemented easily without breaking out the architecture of image sensor. For image sensor classification, there are two architectures have been developed: rolling shutter and global shutter. The operation of two techniques is different so the performance is also different. In this paper we analyze and evaluate the performance of the MIMO architecture for OCC.

This paper proposes a method for transmitting instruction between vehicles in a moving situation using RC Car having camera. Information of preceding RC Car was transmitted by LED using Optical Camera Communication(OCC). Rear RC Car follows the preceding one by analyzing transmitted OCC data based on image processing. Through this procedure, the information reception ratio according to the distance change of two RC Cars is confirmed. Through experiments, we showed that our proposed scheme enables the possibility of vehicle platooning.

Optical camera communication (OCC) is an extension of Visible Light Communication. Different from traditional visible light communication, optical camera communications is an almost no additional cost technology by taking the advantage of build-in camera in devices. It was became a candidate for communication protocol for IoT. Camera module can be easy attached to IoT device, because it is small and flexible. Furthermore almost smartphone equip one or two camera for both back and font side with high quality and resolution. It can be utilized for receiving the data from LED or positioning. Actually, OCC combines illumination and communication. It can supply communication for special areas or environment where do not allow Radio frequency such as hospital, airplane etc. There are many concept and experiment be proposed. In this paper we proposed utilizing Android smart-phone camera for receiver and introduce new approach in modulation scheme for LED at transmitter. It also show how Manchester coding can be used encode bits while at the same time being successfully decoded by Android smart-phone camera. We introduce new data frame format for easy decoded and can be achieve high bit rate. This format can be easy to adapt to performance limit of Android operator or embedded system.

In this paper, a 32-variable pulse position modulation (32-VPPM) scheme is proposed to support a red-green-blue light-emitting-diode (RGB-LED)-based optical camera communication (OCC) system. Our proposed modulation scheme is designed to enhance the OCC data transmission rate, which is targeted for the wearable biomedical data monitoring system. The OCC technology has been utilized as an alternative solution to the radio frequency (RF) wireless system for long-term self-healthcare monitoring. Different biomedical signals, such as electrocardiograms, photoplethysmograms, and respiration signals are being monitored and transmitted wirelessly from the wearable biomedical device to the smartphone receiver. A common 30 frames per second (fps) smartphone camera with a CMOS image sensor is used to record a transmitted optical signal. Moreover, the overall proposed system architecture, modulation scheme, and data demodulation are discussed in this paper. The experimental result shows that the proposed system is able to achieve > 9 kbps using only a common smartphone camera receiver.

Autonomous cars require the integration of multiple communication systems for driving safety. Many carmakers unveil mirrorless concept cars aiming to replace rear and sideview mirrors in vehicles with camera monitoring systems, which eliminate blind spots and reduce risk. This paper presents optical vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications for autonomous mirrorless cars. The flicker-free light emitting diode (LED) light sources, providing illumination and data transmission simultaneously, and a high speed camera are used as transmitters and a receiver in the OCC link, respectively. The rear side vehicle transmits both future action data and vehicle type data using a headlamp or daytime running light, and the front vehicle can receive OCC data from the camera that replaces side mirrors so as not to prevent accidents while driving. Experimental results showed that action and vehicle type information were sent by LED light sources successfully to the front vehicle's camera via the OCC link and proved that OCC-based V2V communications for mirrorless cars can be a viable solution to improve driving safety.

Lane detection technology is one of the most important issues on car safety and self-driving capability of autonomous vehicle. This paper introduces an accurate lane detection scheme based on OCC(Optical Camera Communication) for moving vehicles. For lane detection of moving vehicles, the streetlights and the front camera of the vehicle were used for a transmitter and a receiver, respectively. Based on the angle information of multiple streetlights in a captured image, the distance from sidewalk can be calculated using non-linear regression analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme shows robust performance of accurate lane detection.
